This series shows the wide range of problems that started with the history of colonialism, where the roots of the globalization are nowadays. I chose silk in my work because it’s a symbolic material for luxury, the luxury of some selected countries that are profiting by the globalization; it’s a shiny, smooth and comfortable material presented in a clear minimalist aesthetic, characterizing the nice coloured expensive world of capitalism. To quilt silk gives the sensation of making scars into the material, torturing it stitch by stitch. It’s also deeply interesting to show modern phenomena with an old technique, that gives the work a certain tension. It’s an adequate technique and material to characterize our world like an injured body. These small silk quilts are “wounded” by nasty images and examples functioning as a mirror of our society. The title of my work is an ironical comment on the former advertising campaign of Benetton, using images of people in situations of emergency and to reduce them to the function of being an eye-catcher that provokes a scandal of an unforgettable publicity campaign – Capitalism coquetting with poverty and misfortune. In this way, with my title I’m just turning round the meaning again showing real problems in an aesthetical “package”. 18
